Sheriff Election — Elmore County, Alabama
Elmore Sheriff · the arena · the Coosa county just north of the capital hires this desk in 2026 · in Wetumpka
The 2026 oval in Wetumpka, not in Montgomery, not in Prattville
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Elmore County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Wetumpka hires a Sheriff who still holds Highway 231 — not Staton
Article V, § 138: four years. The Secretary of State 2026 page lists various county offices on the gubernatorial ballot.
- Closed primary: Tuesday, 19 May 2026 (already sat).
- Primary runoff: Tuesday, 16 June 2026 (already sat where needed).
- General: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
- Take office: Ala. Code § 36-3-4 — Monday, 18 January 2027.
- Vacancy: Governor appointment (§ 36-9-17). Coroner acts until a successor is chosen (§ 11-5-5).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Five Commissioners sit — not this oval. A State House rumor does not hire this badge. Millbrook is a city. Prattville is Autauga. Staton is ADOC.
Circuit Clerk on East Commerce, not at Staton
100 East Commerce Street, Wetumpka, AL 36092. Not 8955 U.S. Highway 231. Not Staton. Not Tutwiler. Not Montgomery. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Wetumpka — not a State House rumor
Do not take names from a capital postcard or a Prattville flyer.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Elmore County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Coosa patrol and a Highway 231 house, not ADOC
You are hiring the Sheriff of Elmore County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across the Coosa-north-of-capital map, warrants, civil process, courthouse security, and the County Jail at 8955 U.S. Highway 231. You are not hiring Wetumpka Police. You are not hiring Millbrook Police. You are not hiring Staton. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Highway 231 as this jailer and Staton as ADOC.
Remedy when a writ misses Eclectic
A bad service or a paper that missed the river bottoms — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Montgomery.
Relief when the Coosa comes up at Wetumpka
A rise on the Coosa, a wreck on U.S. 231, inland flooding on a Millbrook creek — this county’s mutual aid first. Montgomery County is a different count. Autauga is a different count. Wetumpka city hall is a different government. Staton is ADOC.
Service — papers, a Highway 231 night shift, U.S. 231 remainder
Papers. An East Commerce courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Eclectic road remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Montgomery rumor
A levy in Deatsville still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed the capital.
Rights from Millbrook to Tallassee
Equal protection on the Coosa-north-of-capital map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Millbrook’s county remainder and a family in Eclectic hire the same Sheriff.
